Vent about your crazy neighbors here!

I figured it be nice to have an area to vent/make fun of your whacky neighbors

I'll start with mine

I live in a little building that only has 4 units, we almost look like a condo. My mom lives upstairs, the other top is empty, and I live downstairs next to our OCD neighbor.

He used to start doing wash at 4 in the morning (we live right next to the laundry room so can hear everything), but the land lady heard from her coworker who is a family friend and she had a nice little chat with him and now we have laundry hours, so he waits till exactly 8 now. He does wash EVERY day all day. He only has his two kids who are around 14 and 10 (so it's not like they're peeing in clothes stoll) and his wife and him.( His loads, since he's always washing are literally like 3 clothes and that's it)

And God help you if you try to do wash, if you're washing he'll go out and check the laundry room every 10 minutes to see if you're done. Apparently he really does need to wash (it's like a 5 load a day minimum for him)

My mom used to tell me about this before we (my hubby and baby) moved in but we never really believed her, needless to say now we do.

Anyways, the reason for me now making this thread? We heard a banging sound since 7 am this morning. I finally went outside to see what it was at 7:30 when it showed no sign of stopping to find my neighbor VACUMING the dryer and emptying invisible dirt (there was nothing!) into the trash can (the banging). Mind you the laundry room is immaculate because both my mom and myself (and ex tenants) clean after themselves in there. He was doing this while wearing little white gloves, lol

Anyways, my half asleep mama bear raged induced face scared him so much that he said sorry and stopped without me having to say anything


and he I s now washing again at 8 on the dot lol

So you have any odd neighbors?

Edit: my hubby saw me writing this and informed me that while washing his truck in the back yesterday our lovely neighbor was doing wash and would come out every 5 minutes or so , open the washer and stick his hand in, smell it, then leave. :whistle2:?

My roommates love to have sex really loud it got to a point where I had to yell at them ''Mom, dad can you keep it down?''. Ugh I hate to be confrontational but it got annoying

 
Mine is pretty tame compared, he just annoys the shit out of me. He will cut boards all day with that annoying ringing blasting into the air and he has a trailer that he parked in his yard and tore up all the grass.

Ya I think that would be worse

I can just imagine my baby trying to take a nap through that
 
About 6 months ago, I moved into a new apartment building. I live alone in a nice 2 bedroom apartment. I'm a very clean person, so for the first time in my life, I wanted a top-notch apartment. And the place is great. Very clean, friendly staff, plenty of space, full size washer/dryer, the works. But there's a problem: I moved into fucking yuppie-ville.

Some things that annoy me:

1. I always get awkward looks because I'm not 'classy' enough. I drive a 1996 Blazer that is beat to shit, and while I'm getting a new car soon, the Blazer doesn't bug me now. But you should see the looks I get from my neighbors. The give me a look like I literally shouldn't have the opportunity to live in such a place.

2. Dog shit. If you own a dog, PICK UP ITS SHIT. Nope, not these assholes. There's a garbage can with waste bags on it every 200 feet, but these guys are too important. They let their dogs shit everywhere and just leave it for the maintenance guys to pick it up. (I used to work in maintenance, and if you do this, fuck you.)

3. Parking in yellow zones. They park wherever the fuck they want and don't give a shit about anybody else. Every day, some asshole parks right in from of the path leading to my building, forcing me to walk in the grass. Do I care much now? No. But when there's 2 feet of snow or it's a mudhole from rain, it annoys the hell out of me.

4. Garbage. Some of them are plain filthy. I was waking around the pond with my sister a few weeks ago, and saw a bag of garbage thrown off of somebody's balcony. They had a party and decided to thrown a bag of cups and beer cans outside. Hell, somebody will get that, right?

I'm sure there's more, but you get the idea. It's not everybody, but there's a select group of trust fund babies that are the worst offenders.

Trust fund babies are the fucking worst. Lived above one when we were still living in an apartment. Eventually he moved out but he was a total douchebag.

I hate Yuppies, when I went to highschool it was nothing but yuppies. I remember a daddy's girl complaining cause daddy got her the wrong color new jaguar. She got another new one a week later :/

Anyways I love blazers! They're hardy cars and you can do stuff with them, in them, etc

I'm not sure if you have just a Blazer or something blazer like, but if you happen to have a typhoon (it's like a blazer just with a turbo for those who don't know) you should kick those yuppies ass with it! The look on their faces will be priceless ;)

I remember my husband beating some neon green race car on the freeway who wouldn't let us merge lanes and was fudging with us with his "rich" car so he deserved it, guys face was priceless (this was many moons ago)

Anyways, my point is looks are not everything and can be deceiving. Many who grow up spoiled/privileged seem to forget this for some reason and end up falling for the wrong things unless they get a reality check (not all are like this but most) or they get taken advantage of by gold diggers (both makes and females). You can also remember when you're mad at them that most cannot get laid or a relationship on their personalities most of the time. I don't know how many times I was approached with "I can buy you anything you want" or "you'll never have to work" or "I have a black card" crap. It's just sad.

So next time they piss you off you can mention something to this effect , in a much better way, or just laugh inside at them :)
 
My girlfriend's downstairs neighbors used to be super loud all the time, so we just had really loud sex and watched porn loudly late at night until they moved out.

You could try parking your beat-up blazer as close as possible to the yellow line offenders. They may start to get nervous. They may not. But, either way, its a game for you to play.

Heh. I might try that. Been thinking about getting a dog too. Maybe I'll get a pitbull (which are wonderful dogs, BTW) and walk around in a wife-beater. :lol:
 
So my crazed laundry neighbor might move out because of the two new tenants we got this weekend. We got some girl fresh out of college who lied on her rental application (she said it was just her) and she has her boyfriend (and like one other person living with her) and a dog. The laundry neighbor can't stand them because the boyfriend is pretty big and i guess doesn't know how to walk living above someone? and they have a dog, and apparently he can hear this like 1 lb dog running around above him.

The one thing he doesn't seem to mind? That this chicks boyfriend runs a pyramid scheme and sells some bootleg PS4s/stolen electronics :nottalking: .

This is what would irritate me, not the other stuff

 I don't need no criminal living next to me and getting woken up with a raid (probably won't happen and I just watch too much burn notice and stuff).

Also since he sells stolen games, I'm making sure he/they NEVER find out I have games. Gotta protect them  :twoguns:

I can't really complain. My neighbor likes to listen to his music on the weekends with the bass turned up, but he has great taste in music, so I don't mind too much. I like to try to guess the song he's listening to by the bass line.

The first apartment my wife and I were in the neighbors below us were a group of frat boys and football players at the local university. They'd play rap music all day and be up all night watching movies. Then we started seeing cars pull up in the middle of the night. They'd exchange paper bags and drive off.

After about a month of trying to talk to the neighbors, I reported the noise to my landlord and the midnight exchanges to the authorities.

Two weeks later they were given an eviction notice. That night the apartment was raided. We had flashing lights and dogs around for several hours, then nothing. Nobody came to talk to us and it wasn't in the paper either. It's like it never happened.

We ended up with some college girls after that, which I can only guess were running a prostitution ring out of the apartment.

We moved shortly thereafter.

o_O

That's some MIB stuff right there.

I'm surprised they at least didn't go tell you anything (well not really, but it would have been nice) about what happened and everything is ok now, etc.

I can only hope your current residence is at is a tiny bit better than this first place?

The second place had good neighbors, but the landlord was more interested in inseminating his horses than taking care of the complex. So we moved.

This place was great, but had to relocate for work.

Fourth place was next to a woman and her two teenage sons. They listened to dance music all night and smoked pot on the back porch all day. Our landlord also never followed through on promises, then we noticed mold growing in the basement.

I've been a homeowner now for five years and love it. :D
 
Our complex seems tame compared to you guys. Our neighbor above us does walk loud and we can hear him and his girlfriend fight but that's about it. One of the next-door neighbors is a little loud too, and there was one morning I went to leave for work ad found 3 cop cars outside the building, apparently the next-door neighbor has some drug issues.

Really wish I were a homeowner but can't get the fiancé on board yet.
